Biltong (Air-Dried Lean Beef, Minimal Sugar)

Beef Jerky, Homemade (Lean, Reduced Salt and Sugar) is a shelf-stable dried meat snack made by air- or oven-drying thin strips of lean beef, often seasoned and cured; it’s common as a high-protein travel or hiking snack in many cuisines. It’s a concentrated source of protein, providing about 55g of protein per 100g, with very low carbohydrates; it also supplies B vitamins such as niacin and vitamin B12 and the trace mineral selenium. As a preserved meat product, it’s a convenient, satiating protein option — useful in small amounts — but still best consumed occasionally because preserved meats can be higher in sodium even when reduced, so pairing with fresh vegetables or choosing lower-sodium versions helps balance intake.
